What is the purpose of Youth for Human Rights United Kingdom?

Thank you for visiting our websiteThe purpose of Youth for Human Rights United Kingdom is:

"To teach youth around the United Kingdom about Human Rights, thus helping them to become valuable advocates for the promotion of tolerance and peace."

Mary Shuttleworth, a school principal and children's advocate from Los Angeles, launched Youth for Human Rights International and created Youth for Human Rights United Hingdom in September 2003 as an educational program for children so they come to understand at an early age the importance of human rights and religious tolerance. She realized that very little was being done to teach human rights to young people, and serves as Executive Director of the group.

There are many opportunities for you to support this vital campaign to educate youth about Human Rights. Thank you for visiting our website. We welcome your contributions and your communication.
